This is incorrect. Bruno starts his second paragraph with "once she does arrive (at Delavigne)". When "once" is followed by the present tense it always refers to a future event. Therefore, we know that Hannah is not yet working at Delavigne. Note, in this sentence, "does" is used to emphasise the long delay to her arrival, though her could have simply said "Once she arrives (at Delavigne)".
If Hannah is currently in custody, it is impossible for her to be at home, or in her own house.
In the first paragraph we learn that a "legal team is negotiating for Hannah to be released from custody". To be "in custody" means to be "detained" or "confined" by the authorities. In this case Hannah is being detained by customs officials who suspect her of being a terrorist.
Bruno explains that Hannah is "having some difficulty with US customs". She is therefore in the United States and not in Britain.
